Not sure but I feel I sense some sarcasm here?

I believe there was something on here the other week about BT no longer putting stickers on fibre cabs.

I certainly haven't seen any in Nelson or Carnforth.

I assume this is connected with BT's decision?

Council are just trying to make a quick buck, get with the times idiots.

Wouldn't kill you to provide a link every so often, this is really not the way to start a discussion thread.

Makes a change from posting a link without comment or even a clue what it is about.

I see what you mean; I think it is tacky putting stickers on nicely painted plain green or brown street cabinets.

It's makes the council look pathetic and childish TBH, what about the local shops with ad's in their windows, people putting signs in their cars advertising services or selling, is the council going to go round and summon all them....

Looks like commercial victimization, or commercial discrimination, BT are trying to get Britain connected, with council attitudes like that it's going to make it a lot harder for them. (Virgin won't help)

If this type of childish play comes from the likes of Councils we will always be behind the rest of the world for fiber broadband.

Hope BT win!
